Mumbai, March 25 Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag has invested ₹2 crore in Proxgy, one of the country's fastest-growing innovation-led "Make in India" product and technology companies.
With this investment, Parag joins a growing group of cricketers backing Proxgy, including Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane.
Proxgy has won the Graham Bell Award, CES Innovation Awards, European Product Design Awards, and NASSCOM's League of 10, among others. The company has also garnered nationwide attention as one of the most well-funded startups.
"What attracted me to Proxgy was the balance they have achieved between innovation and execution," Parag stated in a release.
"They are building products that stand out immediately, but what truly impressed me was the thinking behind them, especially the focus on safety and accessibility for blue-collar workers who operate in challenging environments every day. It is rare to see innovation so closely aligned with real, on-the-ground impact."
